Product Certification Services
What SON certification covers
SON certification, issued by the Standards Organisation of Nigeria, confirms that products manufactured in or imported into Nigeria meet the applicable national standards and regulations. The certificate is a market-access requirement for a broad set of product categories and signals to local buyers and regulators that the goods are fit for the Nigerian market.

How SON certification is obtained
The certification process runs through three main stages, all of which Sistem Patent Kalite coordinates on your behalf:
- Application: the SON file is prepared and submitted through Sistem Patent Kalite. We review the product dossier, identify the applicable Nigerian and international standards, and confirm the scope with SON.
- Product testing: samples are tested in SON-recognised laboratories against the quality, safety, and conformity criteria relevant to the product family.
- Certification and approval: once testing is cleared, the SON certificate is issued and your product is confirmed as compliant for placement on the Nigerian market.
Product categories covered
SON certification applies across a broad range of product families. Typical scopes include:
- Food products and food packaging
- Electrical appliances and electronic goods
- Construction materials
- Automotive parts and accessories
- Chemical products
- Textiles and apparel
- Packaging materials
SON certification fees
SON fees depend on the product type, technical complexity, and which tests are required under the applicable standard. Because every product category has its own testing profile, the cost varies from one project to another. Contact Sistem Patent Kalite for a written quote specific to your product.
Why work with Sistem Patent Kalite
SON certification has several moving parts, and the process is easier when a team that handles these files regularly manages it. Our consultants prepare the technical file, coordinate laboratory testing, track the SON workflow, and resolve queries from the Nigerian side. Each project is treated on its own terms rather than against a generic checklist, and we quote in writing so the commercial side stays predictable.
